Question

of the last 60 people who went to the cash register at a department store, 11 had blond hair, 14 had black hair, 29 had brown hair, and 6 had red hair. determine the experimental probability that the next person to come to the cash register has black hair.
p(black) = \square
(simplify your answer)

Explanation:

Step1: Identify total and favorable

Total people = 60, people with black hair = 14.

Step2: Calculate probability

Probability \( P(\text{black}) = \frac{\text{Favorable}}{\text{Total}} = \frac{14}{60} \).

Step3: Simplify the fraction

Divide numerator and denominator by 2: \( \frac{14\div2}{60\div2} = \frac{7}{30} \).

Answer:

\(\frac{7}{30}\)
